How many .news domains exist, how fast the extension is growing, and how its names are secured and used, counted every day from the registry’s own zone file.
Registry snapshot verified 2 November 2026
76,799 .news names are delegated today, which means registered and live with nameservers. Registered names without nameservers are not in the zone, so the total registrations are a little higher.

<img src="https://axath.com/stats/news/chart.svg" alt=".news domain movement">Over the last 30 days 2,670 names entered the .news zone and 2,088 left it, a net gain of 582.
5.29% of delegated .news names publish a DS record, 4,060 in total. This measures adoption across the extension, not the security of any single website.
What a DS record does is in DNSSEC explained, and whether you actually need it.
2.48% of .news names, 1,904, use known parking or marketplace nameservers. It is a provider-based heuristic, reliable across the extension but not a verdict on any one domain.
